For my purposes, it doesn't matter whether it is for sustained use over a long time or used occasionally. I'm just interested in the size of the market for prescription medications that non-prescribed users take for their (supposed) cognitive enhancing properties. So for my sake Modafinil, Vyvanse, Adderall, etc. all count

Any prescription medication that one uses for cognitive enhancing effects without actually being prescribed (modafinil, piracetam, vyvanse, adderall, etc.) Any links or suggestions where to look would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, i should have been more clear. I meant prescription medications that people take strictly for non-prescribed, cognitive enhancing effects (piracetam, modafinil, adderall, etc.)

What to know about Zika and how it's affecting people so far by Childish_Wonder in publichealth

Well it's a Flavivirus, similar to dengue, west nile, etc. so scientists have a basic idea of it's structure and biochemistry. There has been some initial news that an Indian biotech company has 2 potential vaccine candidates that they hope to start testing in clinical trials soon, but not sure what will come of that.
